Shoot, that's actually kinda tough. 2:1 on your money, and I'm guessing Villian has two pair - not the straight... Good value bet if he does have it though. Smells like desperation to me. Call.

And Oh Yeah... GO NUTS!
I'm smelling something donaklicious - I'm gonna say he has k7 SOOTED and hit the straight on you...In the bad beats section I have an AA's beat of epic proportions that will make you feel better
Well, I'm sworn off of whining about losing with AA and have promised not to post to this thread anymore - unless there's an exceptional hand - and here's one from Sunday night on P*. Forgive me for not having the hand history, but I remember it pretty vividly.
Background:
I'd been watching the Dallas vs. San Jose hockey game and stayed up to watch it end. Decided to play some poker while I was at it. Well, the game went to the 7th period, so it's 2:30 AM now, and Morrow finally scored the game winner.
I've unchecked the "auto-post blinds" buttons on all 4 of my 6-max $25NL tables and am winding down for the night. Down to my last hand at my last table (UTG), and I'm dealt AA. My immediate thought: Great, there go my winnings for the night.
I don't remember exact stack sizes or suits, but I'm the big stack (maybe ~ $60), and Villain has $23.50. He has been a pain in my butt all night; keeps out-flopping my high pairs, and on 2 occasions when I had AK on a K-high flop, he's played KX and caught X on the river for 2-pair. I don't remember how much BigBlind has; probably around $25.
Villain posts SB of 10¢. BigBlind posts BB of 25¢. jdunford is dealt []. jdunford raises to $1. (in hindsight, I wish I'd raised more, but I expected somebody behind me to re-raise, as had been the trend at this table)
Three players folded. Villain calls 90¢. (could have anything) BigBlind calls 75¢. (could have anything) ($3 in the pot, less rake)
Flop:
[]
Villain bets $2. BigBlind calls $2. (took him a while) jdunford raises to $10. (after thinking for a long while) Villain calls $8. (instantly) BigBlind folds.
($25 in the pot, less rake)
Turn:
[]
Villain checks. (after thinking for a long time) jdunford checks. (took a few seconds; I'm pretty certain I'm beat - just hoping the board pairs on the river)
River:
[]
Villain bets $12.50 and is all-in. (didn't hesitate) jdunford goes into the bank.
jdunford writes (chat): This is my last hand tonight jdunford writes (chat): And I'm holding AA...
What would you do?
Outcome to be posted tomorrow evening.
Outcome:
jdunford writes (chat): What the heck... I pay off your straight. jdunford calls $12.50.
Villain shows for a pair of aces. jdunford shows for three of a kind, aces. jdunford wins pot of $50 less rake.
and hit the straight on you...In the bad beats section I have an AA's beat of epic proportions that will make you feel better
